Topographic maps are detailed representations of natural and man-made features that appear on the Earth's surface. QTopo is an online mapping solution that provides users with access to topographic information coverage across all of Queensland, which can be viewed online, downloaded, shared or printed at no cost to the general public on an on-demand basis.https://qtopo.information.qld.gov.au/Also available is an article on how to use QTopo.

The Queensland topographic map service is based on data acquired and collated by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, Queensland for more than thirty years. This data is used primarily for the creation of the 1:25 000 Topographic Map Series covering various parts of Queensland. The service uses a map cache created for the following scales: 1:18,084, 1:36,112, 1:72,224, 1:144,448, 1:288,895, 1:577,791, 1:1,155,581, 1:2,311,162, 1:4,622,324 and 1:9,244,649. The map cache will be refreshed periodically to show updated data.

Spatial coverage index compiled by East View Geospatial of set "Australia 1:100,000 Scale Topographic Maps (Queensland)". Source data from DNRM (publisher). Type: Topographic. Scale: 1:100,000. Region: Australia And Oceania.

This data is a historic collection of 5 metre contours covering South East, Central and North Queensland. The original datasets that these dataset has been compiled from were captured over an extended period of time using photogrammetric methods. Attributes within the data describe the age and resolution of the source imagery that the original datasets were captured from. The data was generally captured to 1:25000 mapping specifications with a 5 metre contour interval.

This dataset contains download links for the contours mapped over the Brisbane City Council local government area in 2002. The contours data uses the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) datum and is projected in Zone 56 of the Map Grid of Australia (MGA56).

Dataset Downloads

The dataset map provides two download options for each grid envelope:

DWG: Predefined attachments associated with the grid envelope.

JSON: Uses the ESRI Rest API to extract complete contour lines, that have any part of the contour line, within the grid envelope. This option allows you to define a custom envelope.

To download a file in the dataset map, click on a grid envelope, select the download type, click the download link.

Custom Envelope

If you need contour lines for a specific area, you can create a custom envelope. By following these steps, you can easily download contour lines for any specific area within the dataset:

Determine Custom Coordinates: Find the latitude and longitude (coordinates) for the top-left and bottom-right corners of your specific area.

Replace Coordinates: Replace the coordinates in any JSON download link with your custom coordinates.

Coordinate Format

The coordinate format in the JSON download links is: (top left corner)longitude,latitude,(bottom right corner)longitude,latitude

Please note: Each CSV file includes a jpg_linkage column this column contains the URL required to access the related map scan.

Queensland map sheet key maps provide a listing of map sheet numbers apprearing on 1:5000, 1:10000, 1:25000, 1:50000, 1:100000 and 1:250000 scale maps.

The Place Names Gazetteer dataset is an extract from the Place Names Database (PNDB) and each place name is represented as a point of latitude and longitude. The data was compiled from the following sources: cadastral and topographic maps, Place Names Card File, Queensland Government Gazettes, Queensland Place Names (QPN) Plans. The Queensland Government has a legislative requirement under the Place Names Act 1994 to record approved place names within Queensland. Under the Act, all approved place names are to be recorded in the Gazetteer.The Act defines "place" as an area or geographical feature (whether natural or artificial). However, a place does not include: a) a road within the meaning of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management Act) 1995 b) a canal associated with residential or commercial development c) a building or similar structure d) a dam wall or similar structure e) a local government area or a division or ward of a local government area f) an electoral district under the Electoral Act 1992 g) another place prescribed by regulation.

The Queensland basemap topographic web service is designed for use as a background reference map and topographic product suitable for on-demand mapping.

This data is part of the series of maps that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Data is downloadable in various distribution formats.

Abstract

The cadastral dataset is the spatial representation of property boundaries and descriptions in the following QLD local government areas:

Barcaldine

Blackall Tambo

Bulloo

Central Highlands

Charters Towers

Flinders

Isaac

Longreach

Maranoa

Murweh

Paroo

Quilpie

It is a fundamental reference layer for spatial information systems in Queensland. This is a complete extract from the digital cadastral database (DCDB). A lite version of the DCDB is available from the Queensland Government Information Service website. Attributes are described in the "QIF file specifications" at http://www.nrm.qld.gov.au/property/mapping/dcdata/index.html#data_attributes .

Dataset History

Lineage statement:

The DCDB was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and map accuracies. These mapping scales ranged from Standard 1:2500 to 1:250000, Provisional 1:2500 to 1:253400 and mapping such as Parish, Locality, Environ and Town maps. At the initial capture, existing control identified from the Survey Control Database, standard cadastral and topographic mapping, photogrammetric and orthophoto compilations and this control was used as part of the digitising process. Additional control was requested if necessary. The DCDB is continuously updated by inputting metes and bounds descriptions from registered plans of subdivision and from any attribute updates from government gazettes and other administrative notifications. The DCDB is being upgraded for an improved positional accuracy, this is an ongoing process. In October 2000, the datum of DCDB was converted from AGD84 values. A distortion model based on a Queensland grid was used in the transformation process for the conversion of the DCDB co-ordinate values from AGD84 to GDA94. The distortion grid used is QLD_0900.gsb. The DCDB includes polygons and feature names for parts of the sea adjoining the coastline of Queensland. The spatial representation of any part of the sea has been delineated in the DCDB by the construction of polygons. The feature names assigned to those polygons have been obtained from a variety of sources, Topographic Maps, Navigation Charts, local usage, etc. Indeterminable Extent, the delineation in the DCDB of the extent of any part of the sea by the creation of construction lines for each polygon is to permit the inclusion of the feature name only. The construction lines are not warranted to be the actual boundaries of any water feature or to be accurate or complete.

Process step:

The DCDB data, in DCDB transfer format (IFO), is FTP'd to the Spatial Information Resource server every fortnight where it is transformed into the Spatial Information Resource (SIR) ArcSDE Geodatabase.Note: the MapInfo dataset was generated/transformed/derived from the ARCSDE dataset.

This polygon dataset shows the position and names of Recreational Areas within the State of Queensland. Recreational areas include: - civic Squares, gardens, golf gourses, miscellaneous areas (e.g. basketball courts, bowling clubs, caravan parks, netball courts, tennis courts, velodromes , ovals, parks, race courses, racetracks, rifle Ranges, showgrounds, zoos). This purpose of this dataset is to provide the position and names of Recreational Areas for use in Land Administration,Topographic Mapping and in the production of Navigational and Web Based Mapping applications. Additional Information: This data has been compiled from numerous sources to produce a state wide coverage with the boundaries aligned in most cases with the Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB)or captured from the best available imagery with an attribute within the data describing the source and reliability. Source data include: Queensland digital cadastral database, Queensland regional mapping, Queensland orthophotography, satellite imagery, Geoscience Australia, community and government websites. The horizontal positional accuracy of the data that has been used to compile this dataset is as follows: Orthophotography +/- 1m, Satellite Imagery +/- 2.5m. The horizontal positional accuracy of DCDB is dependent on the accuracy of the DCDB at the time of extraction.Initially for whole of state data capture, the location of the features was sourced from existing government topographic maps, regional maps and photogrammetric data. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where necessary. The location and names of parks were extracted from the Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). The data had been loaded into the DCDB from a "Park and Canal Name Attribute Project" commenced in September 1999 for data acquisition for PSMA. For golf courses, the address of the feature was sourced from the Queensland Golf Union Website. The address was then used to identify the Lot/Plan description in the DCDB that formed the extent of the feature. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where the spatial accuracy of the DCDB was outside 25k topographic data specifications. For rifle ranges, the address of the feature was sourced from the Queensland Rifle Association Website. The address was then used to identify the Lot/Plan description in the DCDB that formed the extent of the feature. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where the spatial accuracy of the DCDB was outside 25k topographic data specifications. For racecourses, the address of the feature was sourced from the Queensland Racing Website. The address was then used to identify the Lot/Plan description in the DCDB that formed the extent of the feature. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where the spatial accuracy of the DCDB was outside 25k topographic data specifications. Features for ongoing data capture are sourced from government and community websites and National Park maps and their location is digitized from current orthophotography and satellite imagery. Additional data is supplied by Geoscience Australia as part of their 25K large scale data capture and commitment to the National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI). In most cases these features have been identified through fieldwork by Geoscience Australia staff.

The pre-clearing mapping is based on aerial photography and field survey of vegetation communities. Regional ecosystem linework reproduced at a scale greater than 1:100,000, except in designated areas, should be used as a guide only. The positional accuracy of RE data, mapped at a scale of 1:100,000, is 100 metres. The map scale of 1:50,000 applies to the Wet Tropics and part of Southeastern Queensland and map amendments areas. Purpose Pre-clearing regional ecosystems mapping at a map scale of 1:100,000 and 1:50,000 in part, based on surveys of vegetation communities and related landform, soils and geology and on 1:80,000 B&W 1960's aerial photography. Version 8.0 regional ecosystem descriptions, as originally described in Sattler & Williams (ed.) (1999) are available for download on the Queensland government website (search on: Regional Ecosystem Description Database). The survey and mapping of regional ecosystems of Queensland provides information for regional groups, non-government organisations, government departments, local government and industry, for planning and management purposes. (Dataset for Queensland incomplete). Dataset History Lineage statement: Related polygon coverages include: pre-clearing vegetation communities and regional ecosystems, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2006b, 2007, , 2011 remnant regional ecosystems and, for areas where regional ecosystem coverages have not been completed, a separate polygon layer, remnant vegetation cover (e.g.: remcov11). Process step: The pre-clearing vegetation is simply the vegetation before clearing. Mapping of pre-clearing vegetation is based on the interpretation of landscape as depicted on aerial photos or satellite imagery (Landsat, Spot), and ground truthed on a limited sample of known points. The Queensland Herbarium uses the 1:80,000 black and white 1960's photos as the standard imagery for mapping pre-clearing vegetation. The structural classification system is based on Walker and Hopkins (1990). Where vegetation has already been cleared on these aerial photographs, the pre-clearing vegetation is reconstructed by the botanist using available information, including landform, soils, geology, field data (remnant roadside trees) and ecological knowledge. In addition, historical survey records of vegetation types and older aerial photos (if they exist) are used extensively in this reconstruction. The 2011 extent is based on the 2011 extent mapping that was derived from the standard state-wide coverage of dry season (around September) 2011. Technical processes: Vegetation boundaries are drawn on aerial photographs and manually digitised. Boundaries are referenced primarily to rectified Landsat imagery supplied by the State Land and Trees Study (SLATS, DSITIA) and to orthophotos if available. Field survey provided partial verification of boundaries. Pre-clearing vegetation is delineated using above resource material. Remnant vegetation boundaries derived by intersecting the 'vegetation cover' with the pre-clear coverage and altering attributes to reflect the remaining vegetation components of each polygon. The vegetation cover data is generated from Landsat imagery, using change detection data &/or Foliage Protection Cover (woody cover) from SLATS, DSITIA, as additional indicators of remnant, cleared or disturbed areas. Source: General Source Data: 1:80,000 B&W 1960's aerial photography, Landsat TM imagery rectified to 1:100,000 topographic maps, geology, soils and land systems data, topographic maps, field survey, existing field site data and existing mapped data (digital and hard-copy).

The location and direction of each transect was selected on the basis of aerial photographs, the vegetation map prepared by Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service and a preliminary site inspection by Barry Clough.

Trees were tagged, or 1.8 metre timber stakes were placed at approximately 20 metre intervals, numbered sequentially starting from the landward margin, along each transect. On 17 February 1992, 1.5 metre lengths of cotton tape, previously dyed with a water-soluble food dye were nailed to the tagged trees or to the stakes. Following the extremely high tide of 18 February 1992, measurements were made of the distance between the water mark on the tape and the soil surface. Where necessary, a correction was applied for the difference in elevation between the base of the tree and the surrounding soil. A total of 202 such measurements were made in the study area. In the course of making these measurements, the direction of movement of the receding tide was also noted. The survey of topographic levels and drainage patterns in the Dungeness area was undertaken to determine whether a planned development adjacent to Enterprise Channel would allow sufficient tidal exchange to maintain the mangroves in the study area in a relatively intact condition.
